Working on an Olympus VXS-405U SVHS Camcorder, another Experienced Tech said
that its the same as a Panasonic PV-S350, and it seems to be corect.
It uses the Panasonic Mode Switch that is very Popular in their VCR line
(P-EVQWXD001) its a Black Mode Switch with a White rotating gear that
supposedly aligns
with the notch on the base, but am unsure if the gear mark is the Dot, or
the post sticking up on it?
I think on VCR's you align the marks when the mechanism is fully
ejected....but with a Camcorder, an empty Deck is considered with the door
closed? I'm not sure if I changed the mode switch with a new one the last
time I worked on this a month ago - but I remember playing with the
alignment with the door shut a few times, and I still have a problem that
sounds like a motor is running trying to turn a belt but is slipping -
possibly due to the mode switch not being set properly, or just a loose
belt, but I cannot see where this belt is at the moment. The Capstan drive
belt does turn and spins the take-up gear as if in play, ( no tape in, just
closed door) and the drum spins up then looses power while the Take up reel
continues, then the whole deck powers down. Any Input appreciated.
